Venlafaxine, also known as Effexor, is a commonly prescribed antidepressant medication used to treat major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, and panic disorder. It belongs to a class of drugs known as serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs).
Venlafaxine is often prescribed to improve mood, reduce feelings of sadness and hopelessness, and help people feel more energetic. It works by increasing the levels of chemicals including serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain that regulate mood and emotions.
Venlafaxine may be used as part of combination therapy. It can be used with other medications to treat your condition. Generally, it takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks for Venlafaxine to take full effect, though most individuals may start to experience improvement in symptoms after 1 to 2 weeks.
Venlafaxine is available in both immediate-release and extended-release forms, both of which are available as generic medications. It comes in the form of tablets which must be swallowed whole without crushing, chewing, breaking them down, or opening them. The dosage of the medication should be determined based on the individual’s medical condition and response to treatment.
The dosage for people who have depression is recommended to take 75 mg total per day, taken in two or three divided doses. If needed, your doctor may increase your dosage to 150 mg per day. However, if you have more severe depression, your doctor may prescribe a dosage as high as 375 mg per day, taken in three divided doses Immediate-release oral tablets case:
In the case of Extended-release oral tablets 75 mg per day is enough to be taken in a single dose in the morning or evening. Some patients should start at a lower dosage of 37.5 mg per day for 4–7 days. If needed, your doctor may increase your dosage. They may increase it every 4 days by 75 mg until you reach 225 mg per day.
For people suffering from social anxiety disorder 75 mg per day, given in a single dose in the morning or evening. Venlafaxine should not be used in people younger than 18 years of age.
The Generic Alternatives Effexor (Venlafaxine) comes in the following form and strength:
Once you’re feeling better it’s likely that you will continue to take venlafaxine for several more months. Most doctors recommend that you take antidepressants for 6 months to 1 year after you no longer feel depressed. Stopping before that time can make depression come back.
You can feel drowsy in the first few days of taking venlafaxine. This should get better after the first week or two. You could also, strangely, get insomnia (difficulty getting to sleep), and disturbing dreams or nightmares.
Venlafaxine-XR demonstrated a 73.7% success rate, which was statistically significantly greater than that of the studied SSRIs (61.1%) and TCAs (57.9%) (P<0.001).
